The central committee met yester
day in Portland, and decided on the 10th
of April as the date of the convention of
the First congressional district at Salem,
and the 11th of April for the Second con
gressional district at Portland. The
basis of representation is one from each
county at large, and one for each 150
voters as shown in the vote for presi

eight delegates.

Not to be outdone because of the lack
of sleighing this winter, a .number of
the friends of Mr. C. J. Coats worth, who
; were invited to spend Tuesday evening
at his home three miles from the city,
chartered a hay rack, and seated com
fortably on a bed of hay, enjoyed the
ride out as only such a" jolly crowd can.
On reaching their destination they took
" possession of the house and with
dancing, singing and a fine lunch spent
one of the most pleasant evenings im
aginable, and say Mr. Coatsworth and
Mr. Reid can't be beat as hosts.

election of captain was made without Dr.

Correspondence a Delusion and a Snare.
About a year ago Miss Dora Penning
ton of Ashland was introduced by letter
to Clarence Dunn of San Francisco, who
represented himself to her as a detective
with a salary of $150 per month and ex
penses. The acquaintance ' thus made
ripened into a warmer eentiment and
finally Dunn proposed marriage and was
accepted. Miss Pennington lef tAshland
a few weeks ago to join her lover in the
Bay city. They were to have been
married last Saturday ; but a cruel fate
intervened. A day or two before the
wedding day Dunn, went to the races
and sought to augment his share of
worldly goods at the expense of the
bookmakers, with the usual result. He
returned to the city penniless and hid
himself in a den in Chinatown, having
first written a note giving a clew to his
whereabouts. When found he was
handcuffed with his own handcuffs and
told a story of having been decoyed into
the place and robbed and bound. It
has now been developed that he is only
an attache to one of the snide detective
bureaus of the East, one of those things
who levy blackmail on married men and
women who are prone to err. Thus the
course of true love is again unjointed.
The Umatilla Rebellion.
The rebellion against excessive taxa
tion is becoming general throughout the
state. The latest county to report is
Umatilla, where Joseph Gaston, esq., of
Portland has been for the past week,
getting out injunctions against the
county court, . the county judge, one
county commissioner, the sheriff, treas
urer, county clerk, and some of the Pen
dleton bankers. The grounds for all
these injunction orders arise out of the
fact that the county court has already
issued several thousand dollars of county
warrants to pay for a half-interest in a
bridge inside the city of Pendleton, in
which the country people haye no in
terest, and the threatened issue of sev
eral thousand more of county warrants
to pay for the other half-interest in the
bridge. The farmers have combined to
resist the issuance of any more of these
bridge warrants and to secure a cancel
lation of those already out, and have
employed Mr. Gaston to fight their
battle. ;
Presto, Change.
Some time since A. Bettingen, sr.,
brought an action at law against John
Cates for the possession of some lots in
this city near Mr. Cates' residence. The
suit is still pending. Last Monday Mr.
Bettingen had about seventy-five cedar
fence posts put on the disputed ground,
with a view to fencing it np. Tuesday
morning those cedar posts were missing
from their intended future home, hav
ing been hauled away during the night.
A remarkable coincidence in connec
tion with their sudden taking off is that
there is now quietly floating on the
placid bosom of the little lake east of
the Rinehart residence about seventy
five cedar posts. Wonder if they are
any relation to the Bettingen posts.
A Crooked Saint. '
Tuesday a very singular-appearing in
dividual got off a box car at The Dalles
and "loafed" around the Columbia hotel
until the local freight pulled out. Walk
ing along the trestle, he jumped the
train when it was under good headway,
but the train stopped and he was put off
in the cut. He threw a rock at the
brakeman who put Jiim off, but missed
him, and he then retraced his steps to
town. He claimed to be a latter-day
saint and had his pockets liberally sup
plied with Mormon literature. The
next seen of him was at the East End
in charge of an officer, who nabbed him
for selling liquor to Indians. He gave
his name as William McCrate, and will
be sent to Portland for trial.

DASHING A DUDE.
A Slasher Who Could Not Stand
with a Sketch Book. -
Girl
Three decidedly attractive girls pot
on a , Sixth . avenue elevated train and
immediately a score of masculine eyes
were leveled at them, says -the New
York Advertiser. The girls found seats
tog-ether and tried to appear uncon
cerned and quite oblivious to the pro
nounced advances for a flirtation from
two young swells who sat opposite.
But all their efforts to appear at ease
were unavailing. The young men per
sisted and the girls blushed and looked
uncomfortable..
Finally one of the girls opened a
small sketch book on her lap, and then
raising her eyes she gazed straight at
her admirer opposite. He petted his
mustache and smiled. She made a few
strokes with her pencil in the sketch
book, but did not smile. When she
raised her eyes again he realized that
she was sketching him. The other two
girls watched the progress of the
sketch and giggled. This, with the
smiles of the other passengers, was
more than the subject of the sketch
could endure. He crossed .and re
crossed his leg-s, pulled his hat down
until it touched his nose, and at last
rushed desperately into the nest car.
When he had gone the girls closed the
unsoiled pages of the sketch book and
laughingly threw away the bit of pen
cil, which, when picked up by another,
proved to be quite devoid of lead..
A Strange Sight.
. . One of the most amusing spectacles
of the Columbian exposition was seen
in front of the California building on
the- day of the state celebration. A
.free distribution of fruit had been
widely : advertised, and carloads of
fruit had been sent great luscious
peaches, plums, pears, nectarines and
half-yard bunches of white Muscat
grapes and flaming Tokays." Great
booths were erected outside the build
ing, and a dozen fine young California
men, her best products, handed " out
fruit to a vociferous, struggling, eager
crowd for seven long hours. It was a
sight to be remembered. .'Sometimes
the -air was fullpf the larger - fruits,
which were tossed out among the
crowd and promptly caught, but the
bunches of grapes had to be treated
more tenderly. . Hats, hands and bas
kets reached out for the generous
bunches, and hundreds came away
bearing their well-fought-for burden
to share with friends. On this occasion
many had come from distant parts of
the grounds. -

A Returned American Missionary
About an Interesting People.
Tells
Kev. Graham Lee is , Presbyterian
misionary of Bock Island, 111, who
has been working in the Korean field
at Seoul for the last year, according to
me Dan rrancisco Call. -He says:
"The Koreans are an amiable people,
ana a man cap travel all over their
country without being" molested or ill
treated. Sometimes." of course, one
will meet a man who is . rather uncivil,
uut, generally they are disposed to treat
us kindly. Like all other oriental
people,, they are immoral, and Seoul is
no exception among the. cities of the
east. It is a filthy city, too.
"The people are not at all progressive.
There were some progressive Koreans
who tried to have a postal system and
mint to coin money a few years ago,
but the innovations lasted only twenty-four
hours; the people rose in re
volt. Why did they oppose the post
office and mint? Well, you know the
orientals are never taught to think.. In
their schools all the pupils do is to go
over mechanically a list of characters
before them until they commit them
to memory. That's why it is so hard
to teach them; mathematics- So that
it-might be said that there was no par
ticular reason for the opposition to the
proposed reform other than their ob
jection to progression generally. The
Chinese language is taught in all their
schools." . -.' '"'
